Faking the alarm

[eagle747]

I looked at the circuit diagrams and my ears started to bleed... So better find a 12V control box somewhere that some boffin has made up. I'd bet someone on this site could do it without sustaining mental injury....

Aren't most LEDs 5V? Dunno...

Found one at

Would need potting (or encasing in Tupperware!) but should work... Assuming the light on the dash is an LED and is the right voltage. Dunno how I find that out. Except by trying to connect it via the battery and seeing what happens!

You are just making work for yourself for no reason!! :shock:

I guess. But being a Hammers supporter you'd know all about that!

(My wife is a Hammers supporter so I guess that makes me a victim too! We have a Hammers door mat and I'm never sure if I'm supposed to wipe feet on it or not!)

Wouldn't do that if I was you as it might take your foot off!!! :twisted:

You are right mate. You should see what it did to my cousin who's an Arse-nal supporter! But he deserved it! lol

But back to the subject - as the warning lighta aren't mentioned in the manual for replacement I guess they are LEDs - and I would expect them to be 12V automotive ones, otherwise Triumph would have to mess around with reducing the voltage feed. So at the weekend I will try and identify the alarm plug and buzz it out. If I can identify the feed to the LED I'll give it 12V - it may be a 'self=flashing' LED in which case all I need is a feed that goes live when the ignition is off. Which I could probably do with a 'reverse relay' fed by the ignition circuit - I think....

Eagle, you got too much time on your hands, but if you manage to do it I would want one too!

Mate - I work a 60 hour week - but there is always time to do bike stuff. Esp as Cornwall is pretty snow-bound at the moment - so won't be riding for a few days. Just hope I don't blow up the LED!

Details to follow in a few days wen the smoke has cleared from the clocks!
